I didn’t get back to Nerina.  I spoke with my mentor about the Stiletto contest, and she suggested I put Nerina and Brody on hold, since the Stiletto has a deadline.

The last couple of days have been interesting.  I’ve been brainstorming my new idea and learning tons over at the Q&A on divas, with the chick lit authors.

I’ve realized that I’ve prejudged the genre.  Those bubblegum pink covers definitely mislead.  Plus, the notion is that since chick lit is “dead”, it is actually evolving, and there is a chance to help steer the direction it travels.

I’ve also remembered that chick lit involves the heroine’s journey, which I love.  I prefer writing first person, even though I do enjoy the romance.  We’ll see.  I really need to learn to not care which “genre” I write in.  I just don’t want to sub something to NY that is not a part of what I want to write for years to come.
